Midget Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I know there are DIY kits but I am looking for something local and already built if anyone is getting the itch to upgrade (Purifi?) and offload.

Midget Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 NC500 possibly as well depending on if it is within budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I've just listed a pair of NC1200 mono blocks (waiting on moderator approval at the moment). Should be visible shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 I actually did not see this when doing a search. I am not sure if putting Hypex, Ncore or NC500 in the title might help at all. This one is a little out of my budget sorry. I was hoping for some used NC400's to keep the price down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Without getting too comparative, I’ve found the NC1200 perform better on my setups than the NC400’s. All amps have limitations and in my experience (all else being equal as is the case with the two above overall) the higher power amps win. Having monos also opens up (for me at least) the option of spending less on speaker cable and using XLR cables from the pre to the speaker/amp position (using very short lengths of very good speaker cable between the mono and speaker).

Midget Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Aren't they making amps that hang from the speaker terminals now? I guess that is the advantage of very light amps. I'd love those NC1200's but just a bit out of my budget. I would like to keep my spend under $2000 and even less if there are used NC400's out there.
